This cupcake is easy to make and fits a variety of party themes for children including a monkey party, zoo party, circus party, or jungle party. You can make these cupcakes before the party to serve to the kids, or let the assembly of the monkey faces be a fun activity for the kids to do during the party. You'll need:

  • Plain, unfrosted cupcakes.
  • Light brown frosting - can be made by mixing vanilla and chocolate frosting to desired brown color.
  • Mini M&Ms for eyes.
  • Vanilla wafer cookies for the muzzle.
  • Short lengths of red licorice ropes for the mouth.
  • Small peanut butter cups for ears.
